Good News For Coffee Lovers: Daily Coffee May Benefit The Heart

These trends held true for both people with and without cardiovascular disease. Researchers said the analyses the largest to look at coffee's potential role in heart disease and death provide reassurance that coffee isn't tied to new or worsening heart disease and may actually be heart protective.

But our data suggest that daily coffee intake shouldn't be discouraged, but rather included as a part of a healthy diet for people with and without heart disease and head of arrhythmia research at the Alfred Hospital and Baker Heart Institute in Melbourne, Australia, and the study's senior author. We found coffee drinking had either a neutral effect meaning that it did no harm or was associated with benefits to heart health.
